Regex for ip address	Can't Post

Hi i am try to use regex to find id addres in the below way.

<c>

/\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}/

shorter version of general check:
/(?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}/

\1 means '1' string

ip address can be in any form, what we are discussing here called human readable form. ex: 10.12.45.56
the regex like /\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}/ can match those type of addresses but the problem is it matches for 999.999.999.999, which is not a valid ip address.

below regex matches only for valid ipaddress in dot notation:

/^(2[0-5][0-5] | 1[0-9][0-9] | [1-9][0-9] | [1-9]) \.
(2[0-5][0-5] | 1[0-9][0-9] | [1-9][0-9] | [0-9]) \.
(2[0-5][0-5] | 1[0-9][0-9] | [1-9][0-9] | [0-9]) \.
(2[0-5][0-5] | 1[0-9][0-9] | [1-9][0-9] | [0-9])$/x

please correct me if wrong
